Check
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below
the grill element.
Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a
temperature.
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a
spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using
suitable packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the
appliance. This should be checked both left to right
and front to back. Ensure that the food is positioned
centrally in the oven.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Cooking at too high a temperature.
2. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
the oven temperature charts, however, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by
10°C to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 2¼ ins in height.
1. Too large baking sheet used. (See 'Cookery Notes')
2. Over loading of oven and always ensure even air
gaps around baking tins.
Ensure that the shelf is level (see above) and that the
food is positioned centrally in the oven.
Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the
oven.
